The correct order of d-orbital splitting in a trigonal bipyramidal geometry is:
(a)$\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{z}^{2}}>\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{xz}}>\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{x}^{2}-\mathrm{y}^{2}}, \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{xy}}$
(b)$\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{xz}}, \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{yz}}>\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{x}^{2}-\mathrm{y}^{2}}, \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{xy}}>\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{z}^{2}}$
(c)$\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{x}^{2}-\mathrm{y}^{2}}, \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{xy}}>\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{z}^{2}}>\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{xz}}, \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{yz}}$
(d)$\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{z}^{2}}>\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{x}^{2}-\mathrm{y}^{2}}>\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{xy}}>\mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{xz}}, \mathrm{d}_{\mathrm{yz}}$
